# fractus comparison and ordering intrinsics

# Compiler-owned fractus methodi — absolutum, signum, minimus, maximus.

# GRAMMAR:
#   valor.absolutum() | valor.signum()
#   valor.minimus(other) | valor.maximus(other)

# Mirrors numerus-methodi.fab for floating-point; Wasm tier Runnable.

# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   Smoke asserts exit 0 only.
